I answered your question.

I don't have a soulmate. But I don't believe in the concept either way. Do you?

[telepathy]

we dont use that word

[ but yes, the concept is familiar. it's something she, stupidly, wants. something she doesn't know how to seek or accept. she rubs her hands over her face. ]

but people said it would help
i want to know if it helps

[dreamlords]

I don't know.

I've never found it believable.
And I have a feeling if this place wants you to be ill, they'll make it so even if it shouldn't be possible.

[telepathy]

whats unbelievable about it

[dreamlords]

The entire thought.

That there's one person who I'm meant to be with? Nothing has made me think it's true.

[telepathy]

do you choose to want someone?

[dreamlords]

I have before and they weren't my soulmates.

[telepathy]

because you chose it
pervert

[ oh my god imagine having control over your own desires and doing something as embarrassing as lOVING ANOTHER PERSON gross ]

when its real they steal you
you dont decide to want them

[dreamlords]

They steal you?

What world have you come from where you're stolen?

[telepathy]

what world do you come from where you arent
wanting someone happens to you without your say
and when you want someone you dont belong to yourself anymore

[dreamlords]

But you have the choice to act upon it.
And if you do, you deal with the consequences
If you don't, so be it.

I belong to myself always. If I share it, that's on me.

[telepathy]

its very silly to define yourself only by actions and consequences

[dreamlords]

It's very silly to make assumptions about me based on one short conversation.

[telepathy]

its what you said

[dreamlords]

I said I can choose who I want to be with. That doesn't mean it's my entire personality.

[telepathy]

and it doesnt mean your any less stolen if you choose to do nothing about it
that just makes you a coward

[dreamlords]

I've done plenty about it.
You know nothing of who I am.

You asked a question, I answered.

[telepathy]

i didnt mean you specifically
but you said the choice defines if you belong to yourself
but thats not true
its just a response
the feeling is still a part of you even if you dont do anything about it

[dreamlords]

Do you not feel things then? Since you make it sound so foreign.

[telepathy]

i feel things
and those things are a part of me
even if i dont choose to do anything about them
even if i dont choose to feel them

[dreamlords]

So, does that mean you're a coward as well?

[telepathy]

i guess it does

[ the response comes after some time. she doesn't like the taste that leaves in her mouth. ]

[dreamlords]

Do you feel like you're a coward?

[telepathy]

i dont know what i am

[ nothing good, yet coward doesn't seem to fit. she rejects the label instinctively, if not the general connotation. ]

[dreamlords]

And why is that?
